I loved your introduction, it was interesting to read about your farm!

Most excavators in your area will already know or can determine if your locale can support a pond that won't go dry.

I'm glad you think it will be useful. I think there's something for just about everyone on BYC

Welcome to BYC. Glad you decided to join our flock. I love ponds. I had a small fish pond back at our home in Hawaii, and will probably put in a pond at some point here on our new farm in Montana. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. We are here to help in any way we can. Cheers.

Thank you, Michael! It's always fun to meet and chat with others who love ponds and share stories and experiences. From your avatar, it looks beautiful where you live. I do hope you have your pond again someday.

I agree. And, I do see many ponds in our area, so I'm already quite confident that this is a good area to have one...but getting an excavator's opinion and tips and pointers from other pond owners would definitely be useful. I am just a beginner with a dream and have a lot to learn. Thank you for your advice.
